Silas-Baxter Neal, frontside flip over the wall
“For years, I’ve heard about this epic quarterpipe spot in Corvallis, Oregon. The spot is in the middle of a sewage-processing plant, which has earned it the nickname “The Shit Factory.” So that brown stuff you see on the walls, yeah, that’s pure shit. Also, Silas’ mom was actually the concrete finisher for the whole sewage plant. Ironically, I guess she’s been telling him to go and skate there for years. The first time I went there, a plant worker called the cops on us and got us all arrested. Months later, Silas, Brennan Conroy and I went back on Labor Day weekend and got the photo with no police intervention. It takes a dedicated skateboarder to roll around in this filth, and Silas put down one hell of a frontside flip.”—Garric Ray, photo
